(No, I don't have any news this morning about my mother - I'm taking it as a good sign and will check in later.)

Not this one, the site for Uprising Seeds - they're hopefully opening orders for the season this weekend and I want these beets. And the "Lemon Bergamot" bee balm. And some other stuff ( Read more... )

A couple of days ago, anyway ( Read more... )

curiouswombat, my almost-birthday-twin, I hope it's been a wonderful day full of everything you could want, particularly cake!

pondhopper's nativity scene is up, the Advent candelabra is on display at curiouswombat's church, fufaraw has dressed the door and hung the flag, and "The House On Ferncliff" is in full flower. Holy schneckies, my dears, I swear they have added more lights this year.
